...THE PROMOTIONAL MIX A company’s total promotion mix also called its marketing communications mix; consists of the specific blend of advertising, public relations, personal selling, sales promotion, and direct marketing tools that the company uses to persuasively communicate customer value and build customer relationships.

...John Cole 23 February 2014 Professor Youssef MKT 600 Assignment 3 Mass Marketing is not dead, but elements in today’s ever-changing society make it more of a challenge than ever before. There is no doubt that the tastes of consumers and the exposure they are inclined to on a daily basis has the distinct ability to draw customers away from products, and some advertisement can cause a distinct barrier for the consumers that use them. The possibilities of how a consumer can interpret an advertisement are endless. Most heavy contenders in the corporation game have steered clear of many elements that can corrode the brand equity of that company, but some have stepped into the limelight more recently and have battled the repercussion that has derived from these elements. The first company to discuss is Coca Cola Inc. and their Super Bowl ad of 2014. The ability to satisfy every consumer of a product in advertising is very complex and delicate, especially with such a diverse country like the United States. The Super Bowl ad presented was the essence of Americans from cultures all over the world that have all come together to celebrate a likeness of a single brand (Coca Cola), and their ability to satisfy the tastes of every consumer. It was a very powerful message that showcased the fact that no matter who [you] are, where [you] come from, or what [you] should prefer because of [your] ethnicity, Coca Cola is going to make sure that the quality and consistency of their...

... January 22, 2012 Group Consensus Report Group Description: The group has seven members with varying degrees of professional expertise in strategic marketing. That expertise ranges from backgrounds in the non-profit sector to occupational therapy, financial analysis, logistics, international consultancy, and corporate management. The specific work expertise related to marketing that is relevant to this class is also varied with some members having strong expertise in marketing, sales and business and financial relations, while others have had no experience at all in marketing. This sets up the members for an interesting working relationship. All have had ample experience doing group work in past classes at Liberty University. The group is dynamic in nature. All in all, the individuals are go-getters who work well both as managers and as team members or followers. There seems to be a common work ethic where all members have a strong sense of initiative and are autonomous and self-motivated. While clearly acknowledging that no one is perfect, all seem committed to strive for excellence. Most of the members are process oriented and there is a strong sentiment that the tasks, guidance and specific roles for each individual in the group will need to be clear at all times. All members work reasonably well under pressure, but some members feel that stress is best...

...it had major suppliers from the United States of America. To make the buying of material and transport more efficient, Inter Asia decided to set up a new business in USA as Starlet Exim LLC. The parent company in India has 10 employees working in India and the sister company in USA has 3 employees working here. The employees who work in India are located in various states among who, 1 person is in-charge of marketing and 1 is in-charge of shipping documentation, 1 is in-charge of the inland transportation, 1 is in-charge of the accounting for the company and so on.

If the virtual meetings technology could be used in this company, it would rightly fit in the requirement and would help in solving the problem. GENERAL BENEFITS IT...
